Ho Chi Minh City...

Ho Chi Minh City is where it all started for AVSE more than a decade ago. Functioning as a TESOL/TEFL training centre and an English language school, the AVSE campus in Go Vap District, Ho Chi Minh City is a hive of activity all-day (and in the evening) 7 days a week.

Go Vap District is a typical suburb of Ho Chi Minh City, located immediately north of Tan Son Nhat International Airport. It takes 25 minutes by taxi (US $14.00 +/-) from Go Vap to reach the downtown area. Landmarks close to the AVSE training centre include Mercedes Benz (Vietnam), Isuzu (Vietnam), the Pandora Shopping Mall, Quang Trung Software Park (the largest information technology hub in Vietnam) and the internationally renowned Go Vap Orphanage.

While meeting the requirements of the TESOL/TEFL training programme will be your priority, there will be ample time to socialise with your classmates, mix with local residents going about their everyday life and to do some exploring in the lanes and alleyways that characterise Go Vap.

Downtown Ho Chi Minh City might have popular tourist sites like Ben Thanh Market, Reunification Palace, the War Museum, the Saigon Basilica and an array of expat bars, but Go Vap District has what Vietnam is best known for – local people. In a quiet moment when you reflect on your time completing the TESOL/TEFL course at AVSE in Ho Chi Minh City, almost certainly the friendliness of local people will immediately come to mind.

In addition to affording the opportunity to experience ‘the real Vietnam’ while you are completing the TESOL/TEFL course, Go Vap District has one of the best night markets in Ho Chi Minh City, plenty of restaurants and all the services you would ordinarily find in a suburb of a major city. Banks, medical clinics, movie theatres and more outdoor coffee shops than you will have time to visit are all close by.
